In the course you learn:
Learning the basic grips for a forehand throw
Knowing how to stand when throwing a standstill shot
Using your body the right way during the throwing motion
Right arm swing
Following through the correct way and aiming
A proper wrist pop
How to practice the individual parts effectively
Executing the right arm swing
Learning to avoid the common mistakes
"Flat, level, and low"
In this course, you will learn the basics of forehand or sidearm throw and how to throw a forehand from a standstill position the proper way.
In order to throw a successful forehand throw we start by laying the foundation from the ground up. We learn how to use our lower body and hips to produce the power for the throw itself and we look at some of the most common mistakes to avoid.
We look through the basic grips of forehand throw and learn how to build your grip the right way. We see what kind of follow through you should have to produce the best result and protect us from injury. We talk about the accelerating speed and relaxed but controlled motion of the throw. We build the whole motion and use exercises to drill in the motions to produce an accurate and repeatable forehand standstill throw.

Lesson - The Stance
Building the foundation is the first step in building a house. Learning to stand correctly is the foundation of a successful forehand throw. In this lesson, we learn how to stand and feel comfortable in a standstill position.
We are building the stance for a flat and straight, neutral flying throw. We will talk about angles later but first, we need to find a neutral way of throwing the disc.
